Guys, I'm a little worried. We all know the NSA is spying on everything we do, and I'm here to report that it may have spread to Groupthink.

I opened my browser like it was any other day, and found that my fellow Groupthinkers aren't just trying to share ideas about feminism, life and all that stuff, but that they are trying to peer into my very soul and pry out all my secrets.

I mean, whatever you do, it's probably not safe to go outside. Not only may you be followed, but you might also have to deal with parody anti-rape poster jackassery (thanks, citizen LucyWoodhull! Of course, it's fair to ask which was worse - the parodies, or the actual serious victim blaming posters. NightcheeseNightman has thoughts.)

You could try moving to New York, you know, get lost in the masses. Just know that SouthernHelle informs me that you probably won't make it for the potentially offensive and now postponed Indian Awareness Day.

Of course, wherever you go, remember that even off the grid, feminism is important. Fight for it in your new life. (Although, as Medusa Asudem points out, you're probably undermining feminism every time you buy tampons. So there's that. We should all feel bad and stop having periods immediately. Dudes, you're one step ahead.)

So, all in all, staying inside and hiding forever seems to be the best option.

Although... maybe it's not so bad. Sure, maybe the Groupthink Security Administration is learning all of our secrets. (Possibly this could be just because, you know, friendship and social interaction and stuff.) But maybe this brings us closer together. Maybe I don't have to hide.

And maybe not every state will take a ride on the Crazy Train. Burt Reynolds is My Spirit Guide believes they won't, and is happy to provide anti-SB1 petition to prove it! Maybe Texas isn't lost. Maybe there's hope for America, and for me being an internet-using, spied-upon-by-the-NSA member of this society. After all, people are still happy to become citizens — Heather Simon is a prime example!
